wowowowowowow, slow down, you are litterally giving your spectator 5 full routines every time! Nine of the material you have given is meant to be an opener or a closer.
If i were you, i would go for a triumph and stick with it. Make it into a one trick routine with interesting patter and flowing sleights which are not too over the top.
For an opener, get marcus eddy's empty and for a closer just end your triumph routine as you normally would. Keeping things simple is the best way to go. If you don't want to perform empty, just perform the triumph by itself. Also, try something else than cards for change ;)

We're in the 'card magic' forum - it's expected to be card magic centered.

We can't arrange these for you, because we don't know how you perform them. My performance of a trick is probably quite different to your performance of the same trick. Therefore, my performance would fit in one place of a routine, whereas yours would fit somewhere else.

Look for a common theme - either in presentation or plot and fit the tricks together. I generally stick to no more than 3 tricks in a routine, but that's flexible if it's justified. Derren Brown's 3-card-trick is crazy long, but it fits and flows so it doesn't seem like you're watching him do every sleight he knows at you for 7 minutes.

Learning how to arrange tricks is something you need to work on. Having someone else arrange them for you won't make you break the tricks down and really think about what makes them fit together.

What you're effectively giving us is a list of unrelated stuff and asking us to make something cohesive and interesting out of it without providing any sort of guidelines or context. In other words we're being tasked with making Thanksgiving dinner out of a frat house's fridge contents.

Let's back up for just a few seconds here. How would you describe how you perform? At no point do I ever want to the words, "just myself," or, "laid-back." The former because I know absolutely nothing about you and the second because it means nothing.

Try this, go to a random wikipedia article, click your way through ten hyperlinks. Build a routine around whatever concept or history or whatever you land on.

The hardest part about lacking experience is that you have so much freedom, so many choices. The best way to make quick progress is to eliminate that element, and force yourself to work with only one thing (half the beauty of SNC's).

You know, this seems like an excellent creativity exercise.
